“Thirteen runners were injured and dozens of others
knocked down when a carriage horse frightened by New Year’s Eve
fireworks galloped headlong into the tightly packed...” crowd.
While some runners tried to dodge the flying hooves and the carriage
wheels, “others tripped over those who had been knocked down.
“It was a nightmare,” “People were screaming,” said a
young woman from her hospital bed after being trampled and run over
by a carriage wheel. She suffered a broken rib, bruised rib
cage, injured thigh and shin. Other injuries included a knee
injury, broken bones, “and at least one...concussion.” NY
